Big photos: contemporary Polish anthropology — with a Pop Art sensibility
Wow, we just redecorated our editorial offices with these three outrageously cool photographs by Polish photographer Andrzej Kramarz, and they look so great!
The prints are big, and the colors are crisp and vibrant. Everyone who wanders in wants to get up close to examine the multitude of bizarre and wonderful details in each one. You might want to buy one or all three of these while they last. Signed, limited editions are available through Lens Culture Editions.

“Things” ("Rzeczy" in Polish) are nearly life-size photographs of wildly disparate displays found at flea markets in Krakow Poland in 2008. The big sizes of these prints, and their vibrant colors, create dizzying, pseudo-scientific maps of contemporary Polish anthropology — with a Pop Art sensibility. The richness of detail, and the bizarre juxtapositions and odd combinations of these left-over objects lead to many musings about the stories and personal connections that each piece carries with it. Each photograph seems loaded with metaphor and dream-like meaning to be interpreted personally by each and every viewer. How and why are all of these “things” heaped together, right here, right now?
